I think I ate a sponge
So my BFF, KK is a semi-vegetarian. She eats seafood, but no poultry, beef, chicken or mammals of any sort. She won't eat escargot, so I don't know what that means. I wonder if she would eat an opihi? It's sort of snailish. I guess she just discriminates against land animals, or maybe favors them. I guess it depends on how you look at it. Anyway... here's my tale of spongy horror.
In Vegas, Musson bought some jerky-type soy product from Down to Earth. Don't get me wrong, I love vegetarian food and am quite fond of soy. (In fact, I used to be a vegetarian (no seafood either) throughout high school and can go for days without eating meat) She was raving about these soy jerky treats and brought some of them for us to try. She gave them to KK and one afternoon when we were feeling snacky, we opened one up. When I looked at it, the first thing I thought was that it looked an awful lot like dog snackies. I swear I've given these to my dogs at one point in their lives. Anyway, I'm always willing to try anything once (almost anything), so I took one. My first bite was quite disturbing. It was, for lack of a better description, airy and salty like teriyaki sauce. I choked it down and took another bite. I swear this is dog food. The next thought that popped into my head was that I was eating a dried up sponge that was used to sop up spilled teriyaki sauce. I am not kidding. Musson swears that the other ones were better tasting. I have my doubts.
